I see it semi regularly for 2 cert
Spent 90 minutes on the horn with Heather at the Mosaic desk yesterday. Was looking BOS-LON in late September. All BOS/JFK-LON redeyes were anywhere from 3 to 6 certs per person even when the cabins were wide open.

Being a little more flexible with dates, she finally found a LGW-BOS flight for 2 per person in iirc what was classed as a C/D/I fare. Booked Blue Fare in the back and spent 92K (46K pp) points R/T with the mint certs applied for the return flight. She did mention to me that folks were complaining about the 6 certs per person/never being able to use the move to mint effectively but that JBU were trying to get it into the app for a search function.

Until that’s rolled out for us, here’s a Pro Tip we collectively discovered-as the agent was searching for availability with 2 certs pp, I was running searches on the app for points:

If you do a points search and the Mint point cost is less than 100K points then it’s likely that TATL flight will only require 2 MTM certs per person.

For example-the points cost for Mint on the LGW-BOS flight that we moved to mint with 2 certs each in was 95,400 points per person. All the flights that had 3, 4 and 6 certs one way were all north of 100K points by a wide margin with the cheapest being 115K iirc.

Just my experience. I just reached Platinum on Delta via their status match and the only reason I did that is because JetBlue doesn’t fly where I’m going for work at the moment (BOS-IND) Just hoping B6 will retain the “mosaic on the DL” part next year.
